It’s that time of year again.. 2010 WWDC (Apple’s world wide developer conference) where every Apple fan boy/girl is huddled around their computers obsessively refreshing websites (even though they all clearly tell you not to) while hanging on Steve Jobs’ every word.
I also want to note that I got all of these images from gdgt — Ryan Block did an amazing job covering the event live. Check out their entire thread for play by play updates of the keynote: gdgt Macworld 2010
Here are some of my favorite highlights from the Steve Jobs keynote.
